we are seeds tanka

we are seeds in the clatter of mortality, a gate to the fog ... fierce as a ferret

Madame Butterfly tanka

Madame Butterfly's faraway sea moves in my ears— the undulating flight of swallows and sparrows

fire tanka

fire, an abstraction... imaginary cover thrown across  the garden  of the real

this child tanka

this child learned the language of birds ... now he can follow the wind with his fingers

Madame Butterfly tanka

Madame Butterfly a far away sea moves in my ears.... vowels rise like balloons about to burst

play with fire tanka

he can no more  play with fire  and leave unharmed  than I can open doors  and let in rainbows 

bubbles tanka

rainbow tanka

he knew how to play with fire and leave unharmed . . . I know how to open doors to let in rainbows

tanka - unusual uses for things

we buried the dead with our tools and decorations knew the tides by the signs of the moon... decided together to act together
